Description
Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes are a healthy alternative to traditional pancakes, made without flour and packed with protein.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Oil or cooking spray for frying
Instructions
- In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, rolled oats, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Blend or mix until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, creating a batter-like consistency.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat with a light layer of oil or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges appear set.
- Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or yogurt.
Notes
- These pancakes can be made ahead of time and reheated in the microwave.
- Add-ins such as blueberries or chocolate chips can be mixed into the batter before cooking.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding sugar or a sweetener if desired.
